With the parish experiencing the most rain it has had in quite some time, it seemed fitting when some of Lincoln Parish’s leaders gathered to discuss hurricane-sheltering operations last Thursday at the Lincoln Parish Courthouse.

With representatives from the Police Jury, Ruston Police and Fire Departments, Ruston Animal Control, Northern Louisiana Medical Center and area churches and schools under the same roof, Lincoln Parish Homeland Security Director Kip Franklin went over the parish’s shelter operations for evacuees fleeing to the area from the coast in case of a hurricane-level evacuation.

Officers with the Ruston Police Department found a deceased black male early this morning.
Deputy Chief Clint Williams said that at approximately 4:16 a.m. RPD received the call of a possible deceased person in a wooded area off of Gill Street.

“Officers from the Uniform Patrol Division responded and located a deceased black male in the reported location,” he said. “Detectives from the Criminal Investigations Division of the Ruston Police Department were immediately dispatched to the scene to being a follow-up investigation into the death.”
